Security Job

I was writing a screenplay, and then my mother told me about this movie:

It is VERY similar to my screenplay. I think if I completed my screenplay and it was filmed, this would be the worst possible version of it.

So I guess I have lost interest in writing this screenplay. I was writing it as an exercise, but I was still hoping that it might end up being good and it might end up being sold. My mother has crushed my dreams. I sort of wish she didn't tell me about this awful movie until I had finished the screenplay. Then I wouldn't have lost the inspiration to complete it. And although I couldn't sell it, at least it would still exist. I have wasted a lot of time. Fuck Hollywood for creating the shittiest version of what could have been a great movie.

Now I have another idea for a movie. It is a secret. The zeitgeist cannot steal it from me. Fuck the zeitgeist. Happy birthday. All of your ideas have been devoured by giant worm retards.

I almost lost "Antipaladin Blues" because I assumed it was too similar to "Perdido Street Station." Maybe you should go watch that movie a few times just to make sure that you can't still do the screenplay...

in high school i wrote a short story and two months later a movie came out that was my story's plot to a t. even my english teacher said something about it. hollywood employs pyschic manipulators or something.

It's too bad I didn't write this screenplay like a year ago. Maybe whatever studio is producing this shit fest would have paid me big bucks to ensure my script never saw the light of day. That would have been preferable.
